This is what remains of a standing stone that once was located on Nordnes Sogndal. Several paintings and drawings of the original stone is well known, though it was taken down and used in a wall and cut in three parts. The top part was moved and placed outside the Sogn folk museum.
The sad remains of the once very tall stone are around 50cm in height and have a rounded top, it is fixed to the ground with concrete.
